National Rally Driver Trophy (retired)

How it was awarded

The National Rally Driver Trophy had several methods for determining the winner over the years.*

*The most recent system for awarding of this trophy was for an accumulation of points at local, divisional, and national rallies. There were requirements that a contestant must also work at one local rally to be considered.

This trophy and its companion, the National Rally Navigator, are not awarded when there are an insufficient number of local T.S.D. (time, speed, distance) events or a lack of participants at Divisional and National level events.

Because TSD road rallys are no longer being held in Nebraska Region, this trophy and the two other road rally trophies have been retired.

What is a Road Rally?

A road rally is a competition held on public roads in which both driving and navigational skills are tested. A crew consists of both a driver and a navigator. The object is to follow a set of written instructions, maintaining designated average speeds and arriving on time at checkpoints.

Being early -OR- late at a checkpoint is penalized. The sum of the penalties at each checkpoint is the final score for the rally, and the crew with the lowest score is the winner. A perfect score for a TSD (time, speed, distance) road rally = zero.
